Lyrics
STILL BELIEVE IN LOVE
I’ve seen neon lies in a whiskey glass
Watched promises drown in a shotgun past
I’ve chased the night just to feel alive
There’s a ring of smoke where the fire once burned
Hard lessons taught that I never learned
But like flame in ash, I will survive
I woke up broken a time or two but here I am here with you
I’m a rebel baby, who loves the fight
I’m thunder rolling through a summer night
I’m that lonesome star shining above
Break me, shake me, hold me down
This heart just wants to stick around
I’ve been used and bruised…hell, life’s been rough
But through it all baby, I still believe in love
You walked in like a song I’d heard
Played on the strings of my every word
I tried to push…I tried to pull away
Hell, baby, I am a perfect mess
But your touch feels like a Sunday rest
You leaned right in and begged me to stay
I woke up broken too many times before, but here I am with you wanting more
I’m a rebel baby, who loves the fight
I’m thunder rolling through a summer night
I’m that lonesome star shining above
Break me, shake me, hold me down
This heart just wants to stick around
I’ve been used and bruised…hell, life’s been rough
But through it all baby, I still believe in love
It ain’t the words…it’s what they mean
That morning kiss…that midnight dream
You see the scars, but you love me still
It ain’t the voice, it’s what you hear
And how you whisper in my ear
That’s how I know that you always will
(That you will always love me)
I’m a rebel baby, who loves the fight
I’m thunder rolling through a summer night
I’m that lonesome star shining above
Break me, shake me, hold me down
This heart just wants to stick around
I’ve been used and bruised…hell, life’s been rough
I’m a rebel baby, who loves the fight
I’m thunder rolling through a summer night
I’m that lonesome star shining above
Break me, shake me, hold me down
This heart just wants to stick around
I’ve been used and bruised…hell, life’s been rough
But through it all baby, I still believe in love
I still believe in love…
Even when it don’t believe in me…
Even when it struggles to free me…
Even when it’s hard for me to see…
I still believe in love…
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I still believe in love
